Nice. PHX never really appealed to me. Plus it's way too fricking hot. At least I was a mile high so the weather was always pretty nice.

Yeah, but it's winter and wearing a ski mask sort of has a legitimate use. I kind of think that isn't the intention of the law.


Right, but you can't wear a mask to disguise your identity. It's pretty clear he was doing that. Now, you can debate if they were actually breaking any laws while he did it.

Lived around the arrowhead mall area when my girlfriend at the time was working at an assisted living facility west of the 101.

Yeah, I kinda do already.

You know, that's one of the few places I didn't go and I've always regretted it. Everyone says that place is fun.

I had a blast living in Phoenix in my early 20's but if I ever moved back it would be North.

No, you don't give them enough. I've had many an arrest where dude tried to reach where he thought my gun should be.

Well (I assume you're a cop), that's a bit different if he knows who you are and what you're there to do.

There are some well-meaning people who open carry.

But there's that segment who make OC people look bad. They're basically just losers who want attention and want to feel empowered by walking around and annoying police.

The quality of their holsters are typically a dead giveaway

It's all kind of inconsequential. The guys a friggin moron regardless. But the idea that I'm going for is that you could argue that he wasn't trying to conceal his identity, he was just trying to keep his face warm. It's as reasonable as his trying to justify open carrying an assault rifle into a police station looking like al qaeda.

As a side point, there has to be some sort of law that he was breaking by ostensibly intentionally causing that kind of commotion given that any reasonable person would see it that way.

Not quite. The law clearly said "for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a crime." If you're simply disguising yourself with absolutely no intent to commit a crime then you're perfectly legal.

You conveniently left out the last sentence where I acknowledge that.

Open carry is the fricking dumb.


The way a lot of these asshats do it, it is. If I'm carrying, it's a handgun in a holster. Only dick-measuring douchebags try carrying rifles around.

The whole idea behind open carry is to be able to have a firearm on your person for protection in the rare, extreme case its needed. Having a large weapon like most of the open carry idiots on film use is nothing but attempting to wave their dicks around. It's no different than a drag queen in assless chaps and 16-inch dongs draped around them like a hula skirt getting in someone's face and screaming "I fricking dare you to not accept me"

These fricktards do far more to bias people against open carry (and possibly even firearms in general) than they do to help it.

There are just not enough emotes...

We would never have heard about it if the following happened but it would have been funny if he had walked in to file his complaint and not a single cop made mention of his childish arse.

--May I help you?
--I am here to file a complaint.
--Have a seat over there.
--Uh, I have this rifle right here..
--Yes Sir, it is very nice.

I wonder what his pullover complaint was....What a tool.

Agreed. I think the only people that open carry really just do it because they think it makes them look cool and tough.

If you think about it logically, if I'm going to carry a gun, the last thing in the world i want is for any and everyone to know I'm carrying a gun. I'm in such a better position if they do not know that.

He had everybody's attention, for sure. I assume that's what he wanted.
